Be More Chill

Be More Chill by Ted Vizzini

Jeremy, class geek, lusts after girls. But how can a dweeb like him even approach them?

With a new "pill"! The pill is actually a computer device that implants into the brain, telling step-by-step how to score with a girl. At first, the voice in Jeremy's brain is pretty funny--the reader even agrees with him: "First we need to fix your clothes, your body odor, and your work-out regime." It becomes funnier when, as a part of meeting and just being with girls, the voices advises him as he is talking. Jeremy pulls back words, restates things, and seemingly is listening to a voice in his head. How could that be?

It becomes unfunny when we remember, and plot for, the single-purpose conquest. Well,
maybe it's just me being a female and reading this.... Nevertheless, this funny, quirky, great story contains some bad language and some plot twists that could make it problematic for junior high.

What is Sex in the Library?

Sex in the Library is the brainchild of two librarians--a public librarian and a school librarian--who talk to students, parents, teachers, and other librarians about library mission statements and selection policies for school libraries and public libraries.

Of course, mission statements and selection policies are boring.

So we talk about that stuff in the context of books with sexual content, written for young teens (ages 13-16 or thereabouts).

We talk about which books you will find in the school library, and which books you'll find in the public library and why those things are different.

We've been having Sex in the Library in schools and at library conferences since 2002...and we're still going strong. Invite us to your conference, and experience the fun of having Sex in the Library with us!

Our book (VOYA, 2013) is now available through Amazon (click HERE, or the cover image above).
